Does it matter that he was older and the other man was younger? Maybe the older man was being sarcastic. Your reports often emphasize the positive contributions of young people and cast older people as the problem. I remember a couple of years ago there was a report on an Arab Spring Uprising. I don't remember what country was being covered but there was a man who gave his life to help protect his city from the attacks of an oppressive government. He was described as something like "an unlikely hero" because he was middle aged, over weight and bald., as if any of those personal traits have ANYTHING to do with whether or not a person would carry out an heroic, altruistic act. Heroic people in really life are not trotted out by hollywood's central casting. Why did you specify an “older man” said  “Well, the constitution is for the Communist Party running China.”?
